I'm breastfeed (pump) but i drank a little bit of alcohol on the new year. what should i do? should i keep pumping ? i don't want my milk to dry out:(

Keep on pumping!: Hi Shawn, A small bit of alcohol should not be a problem with breast feeding. But if you are having some concern as to the amount in the breast milk you can always "pump and dump". In 24 hours or less, you can resume using the milk that you pump. This way you can keep your milk supply up and protect your baby.
